Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of single and multiple intravenous doses of BWC0977 when administered to healthy adult volunteers.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 1

Detailed Description

This Phase 1 study is designed to assess the safety, tolerabilty and pharmcokinetics of single and multiple intravenous doses of BWC0977 when administered to healthy adult volunteers. This is a randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled, ascending dose, multi-cohort trial. A total of 64 healthy volunteers are expected to be enrolled into 8 Cohorts. The study will be conducted in two phases: A single ascending dose (SAD) phase, followed by a multiple ascending dose (MAD) phase. In SAD, participants in Cohorts 1 - 5 will receive one dose of BWC0977 or placebo. In MAD, participants in Cohorts 6 - 8 will receive multiple doses of BWC0977 or placebo for 10 consecutive days at a dose deemed safe and tolerable as determined in the preceding SAD Cohorts. In both parts sequential cohorts will be exposed to increasing doses of BWC0977.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: BWC0977

SAD Cohorts: Subjects will receive single doses of BWC0977 via IV infusion over 2 hours. Planned doses to be studied are 120, 240, 480, 720, and 1050mg. MAD Cohorts: Subjects will receive multiple doses of 240mg TID 7 days, 350mg TID 7 days BWC0977 via IV infusion over 2 hours in the first 2 cohorts. The dose for the B3 cohort will be determined based on safety and tolerability data from the previous two cohorts Up to three dose groups will be studied.

Drug: BWC0977
SAD Cohorts: Double-blind dosing will occur. Six participants will receive single doses of BWC0977. The dose escalation steps may be altered following review of the safety data upon completion of each cohort. MAD Cohorts: Double blind dosing will occur. Six participants in each cohort will receive multiple doses of BWC0977. The dose escalation steps may be altered following review of the safety data upon completion of each cohort. Dosing will commence on the morning of Day 1. Dosing frequency to be confirmed based on safety, tolerability and PK data from SAD cohorts. Daily dosing will continue for a total of 10 consecutive days.

Placebo Comparator: Placebo

Compounded solution minus BWC0977 The placebo used during this study is 5% Dextrose for injection. SAD Cohorts: Subjects will receive single infusions of placebo (Compounded solution minus BWC0977) over two hour. MAD Cohorts: Subjects will receive multiple infusions of placebo over 2 hour for 10 consecutive days. Frequency of infusions will be determined based on safety, tolerability and PK data obtained for BWC0977 in SAD Cohorts.

Drug: Placebo
SAD Cohorts: Two participants in each cohort will receive matching placebo. MAD Cohorts: Two participants in each cohort will receive matching placebo.
